I just did to, i told them that the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act clearly states that Apple must prove, and not just say as they have been, that the 3rd party enhacements or modifications caused the need for repairs before they can deny warranty. And they still refused it. Im emailing the BBB FTC And whatever else i can think of. I am really not happy.

Don't forget that gophone pay as you go accounts are not eligible to be officially used with the iphone. Only GoPhone Pick Your Plan accounts (the direct debit type) are iPhone eligible if a deposit was required for a post paid plan.

Simply stating that it is a GoPhone account will get you no where in an att store, especially when they are checking the sim card that is installed and pulling up your account via mobile number.

...don't shoot the messenger. Besides.... i think the majority of us here are well beyond our 14 day return period.

Much respect.

Sorry - I should have stated - I was in an Apple store - not AT&T. And I wasn't looking for a replacement - I'd have happily settled for a reflash so I could reactivate. I AM an AT&T customer - so unlocked or not IMO I was not breaking the EULA as I interpreted it

Werent you people warn before? Do not update! and you still did it...
i feel sorry for those... Apple pulled a nice one this time!
I am keepng my cool icons and 3rd party software.
Good Luck to all those who updated! my sympathy to those sick iphones :-)

I'm the same as you, i am an AT&T customer, and they flat out refused me, i spent an hour there talking to the manager telling them they clearly violate the a Warranty law, with a copy of the section in hand, and still nothing. Im going to a different Apple Store tomorrow, hopefully ill get a more sypathetic Geniuss....
At least iPhoneSIMFree's unlock survived and there working on something to bring us back from being bricked, sure we have to pay, but give it a week or so and the Dev Team would have reverse engineered it or something and made it free.

The more I read, the more I love 1.0.2!

Lets just call it what it is guys. Steve Jobs taking over the world, one phone at a time!

jharrelson · #39 09-28-2007, 08:50 PM

You guys will never believe this.... but I just bought an iphone a few days ago... I updated the software to 1.0.2 and waited until today to see what was happening with everyone's phones. It seemed grim, but because I bought it with a Master Card that has "purchase protection" ( up to a $500 reimbursement for a broken phone ), I decided to give it all a shot. I followed the instructions that came from this website that taught me to jailbreak, then AppTapp, then SSH into it CyberDuck.... then I tried something different. All I did was replace the "lockdown" file.... THEN I STOPPED. without running "unlock". Then I restarted the phone with a new ATT SIM card in it that has an old $30 minute plan on it....... It worked!!!!!!!!!! I never ran the uninstall.... Best part of it.... I didn't replace the "lockdown" file without backing it up first. So I still have a way of putting it back together.

ya, what was that $100 store credit thing all about anyways?

Munky · #41 09-28-2007, 09:06 PM

Wow. If any of you think you have a lawsuit...think again.

When you clicked the "okay go ahead and update" button you also agreed to the terms and conditions to the update which stated that if any modifications had been done to your phone, it will become useless.

Good luck trying to get any money from Apple.

Yeah, they are a devil company...giving you 100 bucks when one of you pussies bitched and moaned about a price change.
